Chapter 93: Something Happened to My Uncle's Family in Shanghai
Deputy Director Liu gave Li Rong a sinister look, then walked away with a gloomy face, followed by a few followers who were all opportunists.
"Come here!"
Deputy Commander Cui glared at Li Rong and called him to his office for a lecture.
"Can you please shut up? Haven't you suffered enough in Shanghai?"
After closing the door, Deputy Commander Cui cursed in frustration.
"I can't shut myself up. If I can't even tell the truth, I'll apply to go to the frontier."
Li Rong stood straight and refused to compromise.
"It's not that I don't allow you to tell the truth, it's that I want you to be more tactful."
"I can't be more tactful. I'm a soldier, not a politician."
Li Rong retorted with confidence that if he was good at dealing with people, he would become a politician.
"That's right, okay, get out of here!"
Deputy Commander Cui was convinced. If he had a clever tongue, he wouldn't still be the deputy commander.
"Captain, it was Luo Xinxin who first discovered Jiang Danyan during this capture of the enemy spy. She deserves some recognition, right?"
Li Rong didn't leave, but asked for any commendations for Luo Xinxin.
"The remaining enemy spies haven't been caught yet. Commending them now could put Xiao Luo in danger. Let's wait until we catch them. Don't worry, we won't miss any."
Deputy Commander Cui agreed.
Li Rong then left with peace of mind. Later he called Luo Xinxin to tell her so that she wouldn't worry about him every day.
That evening, there were many people attending a meeting. In a private house on the outskirts of the county town, several men and women sat together, all with serious expressions.
"Damn it! Who leaked the news? They've ruined everything one after another. Jiang Danyan has been hiding for over a decade, how did she get discovered? Did one of you mess things up?"
A middle-aged woman looked at her subordinates sinisterly.
She is the head of an enemy spy organization, codenamed Mingyue. Her mission is to destroy the secret military industrial project of the Northwest Base, so she planned the Qingyang bombing operation, but unfortunately it was exposed before it could be carried out.
If she hadn't reacted quickly, the entire army would have been wiped out in Qingyang.
Those idiots on the train were also caught in one fell swoop. She didn't dare to act rashly and could only lie low and take her time.
But who would have thought that Jiang Danyan, who had hidden so deeply, would be exposed, and even implicated the subordinates she had arranged in the base with great difficulty. If she had not cut off her arm to survive, none of them would be sitting here now.
They dare not go anywhere these days. The whole city is under martial law and they can only stay in the suburbs, but this is not a long-term solution.
"I definitely didn't. I'm dumb, and I'll be exposed if I open my mouth."
"Neither have I. I've been in contact with Jiang Danyan a few times. It wouldn't be good for me if she exposed herself."
Several of her subordinates cried out for injustice. Mingyue frowned. She also felt something was wrong. These subordinates had followed her for several years and were still trustworthy.
But it happened twice in a row, what went wrong?
The door was pushed open and an old man with a hunched back came in. As soon as he entered the room, he straightened his back and drank half a glass of water in one breath. His voice was very young, which was completely inconsistent with his old image.
"I asked someone to get Bai Mei's last words. She told us to be careful of a young woman with a black birthmark covering half of her face."
Baimei is the code name for the honest woman on the train, who was shot not long ago.
"Is this woman from the army?" Mingyue asked.
"Bai Mei didn't say."
The old man shook his head. He was able to find out this and almost exposed his own people inside.
"Half of her face is black. I remember that before Jiang Danyan got into trouble, there was a woman like this who went to Sunzhuang."
"Go check!"
Mingyue gritted her teeth and gave the order.
It was this woman who caused her to lose most of her men, and she could only hide in this small house like a mouse. No matter what method she used, she would get rid of this woman.
The other people also hated Luo Xinxin to the core and wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.
The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye it was late July. The temperature was a little higher during the day, but it was still cool at night and we still had to cover ourselves with blankets.
Luo Xinxin received a call from Li Rong, who told her that the commendation was delayed.
"Those remaining gang members haven't been caught yet?"
Luo Xinxin wanted to recommend herself, but her identification card was only effective when meeting face to face and could not identify people remotely, so she probably couldn't help.
"Not yet. Be careful."
Li Rong reminded her that although he felt that Luo Xinxin was unlikely to be exposed, he was still worried about the possibility.
"Didn't you say I wouldn't be exposed? What's there to be careful about? Stop talking nonsense and go catch those remaining members. I'm waiting to be commended!"
Luo Xinxin hung up the phone with a bang.
Li Rong on the other end was about to give a few more instructions when he heard a beep. He touched his nose and thought that he was being too impatient.
Shanghai
Luo Wanqing received a package from the northwest. Like a thief, he carefully picked up the package, hid it carefully and took it home. Then he closed the doors and windows and stared at his wife.
"Take it apart and see what it is."
The wife couldn't sit still any longer, so she picked up the string with scissors. Inside was dried meat wrapped in newspaper and a letter.
The letter said that the dried meat was for the youngest son to supplement his nutrition.
"They still have some conscience."
The wife snorted softly, picked up a piece of dried meat and started to chew it, but it was so hard that it almost broke her teeth.
"Why would my parents suddenly send me some dried meat? Is anything wrong?"
Luo Wanqing always felt uneasy. Last time he was taken away for interrogation about electrical appliances and furniture, he was even assaulted. How could he know where the electrical appliances and furniture from his parents' house had gone? But no matter what he said, those people just didn't believe him and threatened him that if he didn't hand it over, they would send him to a farm for reform.
Fortunately, his wife used her connections to help him escape from danger.
"What could it be? They must be trying to curry favor with us so that we can send them something!"
The wife sneered and said that she would not send a penny. The two old men had caused them enough harm. If she had not severed the relationship in time, the whole family would have to suffer in the northwest.
Luo Wanqing sighed and felt very uncomfortable.
He didn't want to be so heartless to his parents, but if he didn't do this, several children would have to go to the northwest to suffer, and he couldn't bear it!
"Why are you sighing? Your parents must have figured it out. Rather than suffering together, it's better to protect our family. Since they sent something, it means they've figured it out. This dried meat is great. I'll make soup with it tonight."
His wife couldn't stand his cowardly behavior, so she scolded him, took a few pieces of dried meat to make dinner, and locked the rest in the cupboard to eat later.
The day before Luo Wanqing received the package, the leader of his unit also received Luo Xinxin's letter of complaint, but because there were too many letters of complaint, he did not see it until today.
So, when Luo Wanqing's family was having dinner, a group of people broke into his house aggressively.
"Oh, broth, the food is very good!"
The group of people saw the broth on the table at a glance. The aroma was so strong that it made them drool.
They only have one pound of meat supply per month, and they haven't eaten so much meat for a long time. However, Luo Wanqing's family has such a big pot of meat, which shows that the letter of complaint is true.
"Report, there is a package from the Northwest."
"Report, there is a letter from the bad guy Luo Weian."
"Report, there's a big bag of jerky!"
After a search, all the evidence was revealed. Luo Wanqing and his wife were trembling with fear and felt extremely regretful. If they had known earlier, they should have returned the dried meat. What should they do now?
